Watch Adam Savage Build a Prop Replica of HELLBOY's Samaritan Gun
Adam Savage took on the challenge of building a prop replica of Hellboy’s big ass Samaritan gun. This was supposed to be a one day build for him, but as he explains in the video, he needed more than one day to build this! But as you’ll see, it was worth it. This thing turned out awesome!
Adam's latest long-term project comes to fruition in the form of the Good Samaritan -- Hellboy's iconic sidearm from the films. It's taken all of his machining skills and more to scratch build this prop from chunks of aluminum, and Adam has documented the journey in this new series of One Day Builds. In this first part, Adam tackles the oversized barrel and top rail. Thankfully, Adam has some great reference material and sources. Let's get started!
There are two videos that he’s released so far, and it looks like there’s another one coming, but these will get you started!
Here’s the description for the second video:
Adam pushes the limits of his machining skills as he moves onto the next part of his Hellboy Samaritan prop replica build. In making the closure latch of the Good Samaritan, he has to make something that's not only aesthetically accurate, but functions as a working mechanism as well. It's going to require some precise engineering!
